Subject: Re: [ecasound] MP3 file playback error

I'm using 1.9dev4
ext-mp3-input-cmd = mpg123 --stereo -r %s -b 0 -q -s -k %o %f
(the default)

I tried hacking out the error exit in audioio-mp3.cpp but got a core dump on
the bad files, so obviously that's there for a reason :-)

This affects a relatively small percentage of the files, but I'd like to
find a solution. I don't see anything unusual in the id3 tag. Winamp reads
it just fine & plays the file w/ no errors.

Thanks for any help
